Outlander XLS Interior
Was at the dealership today and saw the inside of this thing. contrast stitched leather wrapped instrument cluster visor, dash, door...the whole thing. it looked amazing! all for a $30K or so. man, i wished they put that in the MR.
any local places in toronto that can do this for cheap? wouldn't even know where to start.

YOU drive an econobox and don't WANT leather. But the typical Evo consumer is changing and it's time for Mitsubishi to realize that. It looks as if they are starting to, by releasing the touring version in 2010. Some of us would love that leather, and some of us would never be interested in it.

I did not know top stitching was in the Outlander, that looks good. That's usually something done on much more expensive vehicles. It really does have to be done by hand, so its interesting they are going this route.
Well, I'm glad its an option on some of the cars. Mitsubishi takes a lot of flak in the marketplace reviews for having cheap interiors. So it doesn't surprise me they are striving to make improvements.

I guess here's my problem:
The interior issue is much, much more easily, and cheaply, solved using the aftermarket, versus some of the more glaring faults of using the Evo X as a higher performance vehicle.
For an Evo to be more powerful on the road, it requires a tune. It requires exhaust, it requires a higher flowing cat, it requires suspension parts to make it roll less, and a rear sway bar to take out some of that nasty understeer.
However, for an Evo X, even a base model GSR, to become "higher class", all it requires is a trip to a good interior shop, and a few thousand dollars.
I think nothing of dropping an FP Green on my Visa Rewards card for a nice little 2% of 1200 dollars. I think nothing of dropping an exhaust on my Visa Rewards card, for a nice little 2% of 600 dollars. I think nothing of dropping an AEM Methanol system on my Visa Rewards card for a little 2% of 300, but it seems to be almost criminal to drop, what, 1500 on my Visa Rewards card for a nice little 2% back, on a leather interior.
Interior shops have existed for years and years and years; you don't heard people COMPLAINING that they upgraded their exhaust, or COMPLAINING that they upgraded their puny, heat soak prone FMIC, so why don't people just dump the cash on the interior, and voila, be done with it all?
I mean, hell, I priced it out here locally; 1 grand will get me a nice leather re-upholstery job on my Recaros, by a very reputable, nice-prior-work local shop here in Ohio. Some people drop that on FMICs and exhausts, alone.

My dad has a 09 outlander XLS: heated leather, magnesium paddle shifters, nav, sunroof, HID's. I love driving it..... the only reason we bought it last year is coz mitsu was offering 0% for 60 months.
